Papa John’s

Delivery from Papa John’s was quick, real quick from the time I hung up to delivery was just over 20 minutes. I must say I was impressed though I’m not sure if this is the norm, or if I was lucky. The food was delivered hot and the delivery guy was friendly and delivered with a smile — unlike the prepubescent spotty kids that rock up on their mopeds from other vendors.
I took advantage of an offer of ‘any’ pizza and a side for £9.99, which I thought was a good deal. However the ‘any’ pizza did not include ‘half and half’ pizzas, which I thought was a shame; as it gives customers who are not familiar with the pizzas a chance to try two different pizzas thus increasing the chance of return custom.
I think Papa John’s, out of all the delivery pizza emporiums that I’ve tried, has the best tasting chicken sides that are on offer, that said their garlic bread is some of the worst. The pizzas are not bad, I really like the base as it tastes really fresh and authentic however I find the toppings to be a bit rich and have a slight buttery after-​taste, so it’s 3 stars from me.

I’m a hot sauce nut but was disappointed with their buffalo sauce — too salty and a slight weird back-​note taste to it. The ‘special’ garlic should be avoided at all costs; it looks like a tub of ambrosia custard, with it’s pustular yellow appearance and tastes like the secretion of Satan’s own armpit
